Caring for Your Camera

To ensure continued enjoyment of your Nikon product, observe the following precautions when storing or using the device:

Technical Notes

Keep dry

The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high levels of moisture.

Handle the lens and all moving parts with care

Do not apply force to the lens, monitor, or to the connector, card slot, or battery chamber covers. These parts are especial- ly susceptible to damage.

Do not point the lens at strong light sources for extended pe- riods

Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or oth- er strong light sources for extended peri- ods when using or storing the camera.

Intense light may cause deterioration in the CCD image sensor, producing a white blur effect in photographs.

Turn the product off before re- moving or disconnecting the power source

Do not unplug the product or remove the batteries while the product is on, or while images are being recorded or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circum- stances could result in loss of data or in damage to product memory or internal circuitry. To prevent an accidental inter- ruption of power, avoid carrying the product from one place to another while the AC adapter (available separately) is connected.

Do not drop

The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shocks or vibration.

Keep away from strong mag- netic fields

Do not use or store this device in the vi- cinity of equipment that generates strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static charges or the mag- netic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters could interfere with the monitor, damage data stored on the memory card, or affect the product’s in- ternal circuitry.

Avoid sudden changes in tem- perature

Sudden changes in temperature, such as occur when entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day, can cause conden- sation inside the device.

To prevent condensation, place the de- vice in a carrying case or a plastic bag be- fore exposing it to sudden changes in temperature.
